After A Mastectomy | Breast Cancer Awareness

[cecesheart32]

thank you very much for your strength....it definitely is the hardest thing to through. i have been cleared with my four years survivorship and life definitely has changed....survivorship isn't an easy thing.

[gibfam88]

You are truly a beautiful woman -- inside and out!! I wept at your courage to show something so personal and painful so that other women can find their courage!! My mother is dying of cancer. I am so amazed at the courage it took to do this as a proactive and pre-emptive measure.

May God bless you with a long life, joy and all th love you deserve! Your husband is one lucky man to have such a courageous and strong mate!1

[thug260283]

i clicked with a perverted mind but seeing your video made me realize how courageous you are. don't give up and live your life as how you want, stay strong and take care girl!

[taliri345]

Thumbs up Brave Lady. Adore able, Salute to your courage

[DyLaBug]

couple months ago i have found a hard lump inside my breast me and my husband can still feel it.. but i have not gone to doctor for check up because i cannot afford. i work so hard to waste money.. all i think its nothing to worry.. and that i shouldnt go.. i feel as, its nothing serious..i know its not.. but i want to know how was your experience when you first went to doctor... did your lump hurt to the touch? did you have discharge? was it hard or soft? what was your reaction?

[cnith2]

@DyLaBug hard lumps are never a good thing... try wasting money at a doctor's honey or all that money you waste everywhere else will leave your husband a widow...and if you have kids, half orphan.

[DyLaBug]

@cnith2 i suppose you are right.. my moms sister have breast cancer it was all cut off, she use to complain how much hair she lost before her cancer... and now i am having the same complain.. i am so scared for god sake..

[cnith2]

@DyLaBug Scared is normal. But scared is better than dead. Please go to the doctor!

[CourageIsMyStrength]

@DyLaBug Depending on where you live, there are many, many organizations out there that help women get mammograms, breast exams, ultrasounds, and treatment for free or for reduced costs. Any health concern is worth seeing a doctor for, and the majority of women that die from breast cancer die because they wait too long for help. Breast cancer is very treatable and survivable if you do the right thing for yourself. Only you can save your life. Get the lump checked. Period.

[TheGODZILLA48]

How do you feel now ? Best of luck to ya such a brave woman you got my thumbs up

[knbberry]

thank you for sharing. I'm a few weeks away from getting my double mastectomy and I'm pretty terrified. Keeping my spirits up when I'm with my family, friends and coworkers but I've got knots in my stomach and cry at night and in the car. I'm only 41 with no family history so I'm the first in my circle of friends. The unknown has been really scary. And the wait is just as bad.

[CsCfg]

@knbberry Hopefully it goes alright wish you best of luck :D <3 stay strong :)

[MrTacoxxxx]

[CatieBabyyy7]

This actually made me cry... But you know what... She is a beautiful young lady, a mom, a daughter, and a wife, but most importantly she is very brave and I love that!! You know what she has went through a lot to still be alive for her family and friends and she doesn't need breasts to survive I am a 15 year old girl, but I have witnessed my mom die of breast cancer, and also my grandma, and that was one of the worst things that has happened. I hope not, because I know I am not as brave as you

NICE SLIDE SHOW ...... THANK FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO

[ofethrd1]

You are so courageous. Kudos to you, your family and the friends who are there to support you in your decision. Thank you also, for your honesty and willingness to let others learn from you.

[Klaaaan1]

The olny scar's that cause the most pain is the scar's of the spirit.

[senzacoda1]

It's so amazing how human nature can be so wonderful, at times. And women show more courage than men, most of the times.

[eulerhmelo]

marvelous video. You are made of courage.

Best regards from Brazil.

[012370909]

Beauty is from Within. Often heard and still truest form of beauty

[Dinelie]

I think you are beautiful... Thank you for sharing... you make me believe I can be stronger and courageous. I had huge breast reduction because I had identifiable cyst. DId not want the chance... God bless you.

[lennylenz]

Great video and a wise desicion on your part. The pain you are dealing with now is worth every bit to live cancer free and with the reduced risk. This is something men have to be aware of too. I had a bilateral masdectomy years ago. It is painful, but I was cut underneath. really no need to worry about asthetics in my case but having to have the drain tube openings reopened every week for my "juicing" wasn't much fun either. I thank God with the reconstructive options you have these days.

[yakidy41]

Thank you for sharing. I had my double mastectomy 10 days ago. I was in your same shoes with and 80% chance of getting BC after abnormal precancer cells were found in both breasts after a lumpectomy~

I haven't had the guts to look at myself, yet my incredible husband say he's impressed with everything do far.

Thank you for sharing maybe soon I'll be able to cross that bridge and accept this badge of honor..

[visionfirst1970]

So many beautiful young women getting breast cancer.

All these barely middle aged men getting testicular and prostate cancer.

Yet you go to somewhere seperate from the western world and these cancers barely exist, Amish, for example and thats just one, they have virtually no cancer.

It's gotta be environmental, either from food, vaccines, birth control, flouride even, combination of all?

Either way, no good person should ever have to go through what you have.

Stay strong.

Peace

[kelli43938]

Wow, you are a very corageous woman and I admire you for having such courage to make others aware of what happens. I wish you all the best as I do all women stricken with this horrible ailment that is so life changing. I can only imagine the withdrawal you went thru, but I know what it is like somewhat. You are AWESOME girl.

[hovsec]

nipples were removed....that gave me the chills :S

[derail65]

god bless , stay strong and good luck. i worry about my wife too, because her family has had so many bouts with cancer. i could not live with out her.

[mrsmystery22]

Looks SuperSore :( Brave Lady

[AntiSocialChannel85]

I never understood why they remove the nipples.

[FaithHopeLove1547]

I am about to have a Mastectomy on August 16 2011. I want to THANK YOU for sharing your stories. It helped me out alot with my fears and going forward with this life changing transition. Thank You! God Bless : )

[Jujube271180]

My breast will be removed after the treatments and i am scared. My baby still il hospital after 2 months, its so hard to handle...

[MegaDanie88]

wow who would dislike this?

[hadron89]

@MegaDanie88 Well it depends how you take it. I would dislike the cancer (and other horrible-) part(s). But for her courage I would like the video. Some people choose the wrong one :S

[SquidlovesDuck]

God bless you. You are an amazing woman. You are beautiful and courageous beyond words.

[JDalltonX]

I had my right breast removed on July 20, 2011. I'm opting for reconstruction, and the tissue expander is in place. The wound from my surgery is horrific to look at, but I keep reminding myself that it will look better once all the healing takes place. The drains are annoying, but I consider myself fortunate that I have medical insurance to cover the cost of all the procedures. Much love and hope to any woman undergoing this ordeal. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us.

[1birdwoman]

I am doing the same. I am not going to have any type of implant or shape. My breast are gone as is the incredible stress of my cancer concern. In 9 months a few tiny lumps became over 40, 2 from the size of a quarter to the size of 1/2 a tenis ball. Removing both breasts remove 90 plus % of cancer concern & you can't buy that level of peace. Geri C

[champachameli21]

God Bless you sister - Just got diagnosed myself and fearful of what will happen after my mastectomy ... I Admire your courage .Thank you again for posting this

[geenarmx]

[KarlNJax]

Thank you for having made this video! My Mother just found out she has to have her breast removed and of course she is worried. God bless you for sharing your story! We will be praying for you as well. Thank you again.

[boazman67]

Thank God for your courage so guys like me could understand. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. The mastectomy is scheduled for the last week in this month.

Your husband motivates me.

Again GOD bless you. I am not doctor and did not know or have any idea of what to expect for my beloved.

[roaddogg5601]

Your courage is an inspiration,may god bless u.....

[calvin036]

God bless you. You certainly are brave!

[bigote0690]

Thank you sister. I'm gonna be alright...I'm gonna be alright...

[ThePinkeyedprincess]

[MyJonathan9999]

Hats Off to you.....brave lady....wish you to lead a healthy life...my elder sister's right breast is removed 18 days ago and I know how she needs our support to live with one breast.....

[devineorigin]

Your a beautiful and brave woman. We stand behind you

[joejacques1]

im having one next week,im scared.:)

[luckymirixox]

@joejacques1 Good luck!!.. You are in my thoughts and prayers. My mum had hers done in Jan 2011 and she's getting radiation rite now. You will be fine. Best of luck!!

[twinkies331]

beautiful story and music. gave me a sense of peace after having a single mastectomy. keeping you in prayer and praising your courage to share your story.

[giriaashish]

it was good to know ur story. U r indeed an inspiration.

I had seen a surgery of beast removal but the surgeon used the muscle of the back (latismus dorsi muscle) to replace the cancerous breast tissue and the scar was just a inch hidden in areolar border. excised breast looked even more beautiful than the untouched one. so this could be ur option to reduce the cost for beast expander and less scar.

good luck and have more willpower to win the battle

[TheMaxson]

God Bless you and all who have suffered and survived. My mom is now going through this. ;(

[luckymirixox]

@TheMaxson You are not alone. My Mom had her surgery in Jan and is getting radiation rite now. It's somewhat comforting to know that we are not alone. God bless!xo

[cutykity]

God bless you, you're beautiful! I'm 34 and have triple negative breast cancer. We can fight this and survive it!

[ivemen98]

You have inspired me to get my reconstruction after being diagnosed with breast cancer Aug.,2009. I had 6 rounds of chemo, and last June 2010 my ovaries were removed. This Dec, I got my reconstruction, and am currently at 320 cc. Still have to go like 100 cc more. I feel great, my panic of getting cancer again is gone. God bless you for posting your courageous story!! From El Salvador, Central America

[kams4899]
